Great souls,strong minds, Lost in an isolated world. Dreaded in pain, Living a fearless yet a bitter life. In the midst of war where blood flows like water, The destiny of warriors are slain, Like Sheep been taken to be slaughtered. Oh!how are the might falling in the midst of war. Hopes are thwarted, Families neglected, Joy wiped away by series of bullet. Lands destroy by  atomic powers. Yet they stand to keep watch over a land deserted. Dying to keep multudes alive, Ignoring a life of merry. The journey will never stop. The fight will never end, Has they keep their feet tight, Hoping for ammunition that may never come, For their destiny is not to be write off, Like sand wearing away. They are our Hero's Hero's who fought for a better tomorrow To keep us standing never to fall again. They are, Friends we never see, Families we never had.. Great souls, strong minds Hero's that will never be forgotten. PoetRuth Like this poem? Please drop a comment or

As I watch the whirlwind pave into every corner, Like dew The picture of the past and future forge before me,like a powerful collage of masterpiece I hear it in their whisper "Take a deep breath" Follow the path where the dust warms the heart. My country dines on the table of terror, And turmoil is a welcomed guest at our table. The key is  forged from our many years of education, And our burnt candles are only its alloy. A story, Branded on our young minds by loving parents, And in the foundry of our lost society, We forge spears of our own destruction. These politicians come,and upon their lips we can taste hatred, Hatred unspoken,hatred for us their country men. Our nationality is a story not ours to write, But we bear in our hearts a chisel, A chisel to carve out an identity in this earthen pot of unity. Humbly let's cluster our heart in a dream, A dream if change, and one day we will awake into a day For this day will only be our path, Our path to true pa

         OUR FEAR Heart gripped with fear The end we can't tell, Flying was our aim, succeeding was a must. "Education the best legacy"they heralded. Studying under harsh weather was pain. What's our fate? Certificate has become trash, For reasons unfold yet obvious. Our responsibility heap up like pyramid. Hardwork that can't be paid for. A stillness in the air, Our hearts quake with uncertainties, And doubts. What is next? After we leave the four walls that hold us together, Success or failure? Which awaits us? We all wish to be great, Our hearts anticipate earnestly, Like a be trothed awaits her lover, Like bee we hurriedly rush to the end, No one can tell how it feels. But now we can't walk with shame. For the days ahead we can't tell, Because the fear won't go away, And the doubts too,have formed an abode in us. PoestRuth Like this?

Today I walk down the aisle, Not in shame,Not in pain. But with joy flowing like river. You brightened my life, Like incense, you filled the air. I'm intoxicated by your love. Yes!your love found me, Caught me,and caged me. You gave me reason to live again, Reason to love again. You are not my number three or two, Not even my number one, but the only one. I sprout like rose, Like the sun I shine under the sky. You make me twingle like the stars, And you are my star. I loved you yesterday, It won't stop today. May our love grow tall, Strong has rock, Sweet like Candy's. I will never stop loving you, I know there will be dry times, And wet times, Times we will cry,and smile. But their won't be a time I will stop loving you. Today I walk down the aisle, Not to devour you,not to pinch you with agony. I'm here to say, yes! I do. Yes! I accept you. And I will cherish you till the end. PoetRuth Like this? Please kindly drop a comment or suggestions on what you

"Mufasa! Come to the gathering of warriors Swords are held by strong men Men that choose to stand and watch the sun set Only a star create images with stars Listen to the timbre The only music you should dance to Close your ear to nay Sayers Else they slaughter your throat Let your heart be nourish with wisdom And your leg walk thereon Be the river that cease not The fire that quench not For today you become our ruler The warrior of our time.

You lay quietly on the mat. Those you despise have gone ploughing You complained about shower They have gone reaping. Chains of poverty has erupted your ego, Spanking your thigh in regrets. You now seat among puppies feeding from the Breast, Gazing with the flock,entwined with bees. Like vagabond your legs are sore, Peeling away your root. Your voice has become harsh. The nobles hate your present. You are like ashes left under the rain, Like birds chirping in the forest, With no desire to fly away.. veggies shrink at your approach, Rivers stop flowing The sun has become dime Your paths has swallowed them up. Remove the garment of laziness, Poverty will fly away. Stop complaining, And you shall reap, Under the sky.. PoetRuth Like this? Please kindly drop a comment and suggestion... Thank you!

I'm the image of my heart. Where Candy's or kola is produced. You are your mind, What's tells you to move or pause.  My colour? They don't refine or define me Black or white Pink or green Yellow or blue This are colours that reflect the physical, Like clouds covering the sky They hide the real me but never me. So to the black skin, Don't tone your skin to be white  Tone your character which is the real you,  habits that has held you captive With chains of pain dripping down your eye. Tone your mouth to speak only the truth, Lying lips get rotten. Be proud of your colour, And hey!I'm black doesn't mean my heart is coated with evil. My colour can change, my heart I can't! So see through my heart not my colour, Let love flow through us,release the burden in your heart. Stop hating me, Accept me,for my root is golden Scares like blue diamond, I'm worth more than rubbies,so don't sentence me.. Black or white? I'm who I build my self to

Sometimes, I smile to build some strength in me.. To allow my teeth feel the sweetness in my lip, And to show you that I'm strong. Sometimes, I run not because I'm an athlete, but just like you I don't have a penny to use a cab. Sometimes, I stay quite, I'm not upset but only trying to set my brain to think about bigger things worth fortunes. Sometime, I cry,I'm not weak but only releasing the rock in my heart seating deep in the ocean of my life. Sometimes, I say No, to let you know you can't always get what you want,the coin has two face. Sometimes, I stay awake to fix the trouble of the day,as the sparrow makes her nest. Sometimes, I know you won't give it back,when I say "Hello" but I still say it to let you know I care. Sometimes, I'm too feeble,then I fumble before I stumble.. Sometimes, I'm too emotional,and then I allow people have what they want. Sometimes, I'm too gullible, I could give my life for nothing. PoetRut

"I love my veil" "It show forth my beauty". But behind those linens lies bunch of shame untold. Tears flowing like river, With sparking eyes filled with regrets. The pain of yesterday,the plight of today. All crawling in my vein. The veil was an escape route  not just a covering. To quiver the guilt of the past, Lying in my path The light was hidden, Night spent on strangers thighs, Like scavengers, Waiting aimlessly for a soul to hold me tight... Have got a demon friend, he's so possessive. His the reason I wake up in different blankets... I was a night hawker, Drinking vigorously with the spirits. Like gum I stick to my desire, Burning away my skin. We were cool until he destroyed me, I tried to run but he held me tight. The ocean splash, the hills splits. All I crave for is freedom. Freedom from shame, From those things I hate, I gave my soul,and now I want it back. Night or day I wandered like a fugitive For now I still wear a veil of shame.. Poe
